But I do know that Gillian Horvath said she gulped when she S P O I L E R S heard Methos utter that line about Holy Ground because the original idea was NOT holyground but a fake monastery with fake monks who were trustworthy and good watchers.>> Yes. I heard this too. But even if they filmed it that way, it wouldn't work for me. It would take away the HG problem, but it wouldn't explain why an immie would allow himself to be put into suspended animation like that. Even though these are "good watchers", what's to stop a kimmie from coming along, killing all the watchers, and then killing all the comatose immies? Or what would stop a "bad watcher" from doing the same thing? It just doesn't work. -- Sandy I agree that either way does not work. It was a bad idea to begin with.Not to mention the fact that immortals aren't even supposed to know about the watchers let alone trust them with their lives over many years.Even if the immies were on holy ground and holy ground meant what I continue to believe it did, a renegade watcher (of which there were quite a few on the series) could have killed them all with no problem like Darius in the church.And if it wasn't holy ground, same senario but add any stray kimmie happening by also. Holy ground or not, it simply does NOT work. I expected something better from Gillian.

In fairness to her, my understanding [which could be flawed] is that she was called in to rewrite a script whose storyline was already in progress [BP's] . In the leaked script there were classic Gillian -stamped-all-over- them- lines, one gem for Methos and the final line of the final scene itself, both of which never made it to the filming. Sigh. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 3 Jan 2001 21:10:09 -0500 From: swrdlvr@webtv.net Subject: Re: Greetings and Question about Endgame SPOILERS Dotiran wrote:In fairness to her, my understanding [which could be flawed] is that she was called in to rewrite a script whose storyline was already in progress [BP's] .

Sigh.>> I do want to be fair to her ( I respect Gillian a lot) and I really don't know the inside story on all this. My understanding was that Gillian & Bill P. did the storyline and another dude did the script.(with all around mostly atrocious dialogue in my opinion)Whatever the truth is, IMO again, somebody goofed big time.

So true. And it really doesn't matter who wrote what or when or who fixed somebody else's work, etc. Behind-the-scenes info is fascinating, but doesn't really help this discussion. Methos said "holy ground". Immies were killed at the sanctuary. It doesn't matter who wrote it (or if it was ever written that way at all) or who was surprised by it, because the discussion is about the film as it was released; and those immies were killed on Holy Ground. So.... for the sake of discussion, is it possible to come up with a type of sanctuary that would work? What kind of place could have been used that we could have believed Connor would have gone to voluntarily to get away *and* Kell would have been able to come in and kill everybody? -- Sandy ------------------------------ End of HIGHLA-L Digest - 3 Jan 2001 (#2001-4) *********************************************
